The first video advocates for the purity of algorithmic redistricting, which in theory would eliminate bias (or more accurately, would be more transparent in its biases). The video doesn&#039;t really provide any evidence or analysis to suggest that gerrymandering is a &quot;problem&quot; or even a significant factor in the USA. In any case, again, whatever one&#039;s views of gerrymandering, it has nothing to do with the outcome of the last presidential election.

The second video seems to be off-topic.]]></description>

I think the real problem is a combination of the US electoral system and gerrymandering. This video about gerrymandering in the US is good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRCZR_BbjTo

And this is really good, but almost 20 minutes long:

Yes, I think indeed that gerrymandering was not the really instrumental scam in Mr Trump&#039;s &#039;victory&#039;.  You&#039;ve got a point there. However, crosscheck and disenfranchising of voters was. As well as the spurious discarding votes. Why was Virginia the only Swing State where the exit polls were close to the count? Exactly, the counting there was not overseen by a Rep secretary.

					<description><![CDATA[Nicky claims that Trump &quot;reached his presidency by fraud&quot;, and then mentions gerrymandering. I simply pointed out the irrelevance of that point, since legislative district boundaries have absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of any presidential election.

If you have evidence of some kind of electoral fraud, go to court. The left usually claims there is no such thing, but go figure.]]></description>

Wow...I don&#039;t like responding to you because it&#039;s a waste of time. I&#039;m a fast typist, so I&#039;ll break one of my roolz.  I advise you to google a certain Kris Kobach and get your shit correct. Your comments are plainly and transparently ignorant. Gerrymandering is just one of the many cheating ways. Simply stating one of the forms of voter suppression only happens in two states is stupid. It shouldn&#039;t happen in any...two is a HUGE problem. And again, if you knew what was going on, you&#039;d be outraged. Obviously, you&#039;re ill-informed.]]></description>

I respectfully take exception to all of your points, but the one about gerrymandering is flat wrong. Only two States select any electors by district--for a combined total of five electoral votes, therefore having no bearing whatever on the final result.]]></description>
